In one of the most stunning reversals of human rights in modern history the Federal Security Service (FSB) is reporting today that the Obama regime has issued a blunt warning to all American citizens that, in essence, states that any one of these once free people who dare to oppose their government they will be immediately killed and offered no chance to defend themselves before a Court and/or jury of their peers.
According to this report, this unprecedented attack was begun yesterday when the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) General Counsel Stephen Preston in responding to a question at an American Bar Association national security conference bluntly stated that “American citizens are not immune from being treated like an enemy if they take up arms against the United States.”
When letting ATS members on to a new story please include the following:

A quote of the article (No longer than 3 paragraphs)
Your own thoughts.
A CIA drone strike killed Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born cleric linked to Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, earlier this year. He was linked to failed plots to blow up a U.S.-bound passenger plane in 2009 and cargo planes headed for the United States in 2010, U.S. officials say.
Preston said he would not discuss Awlaki or any specific operations. "I will make this observation that citizenship does not confer immunity on one who takes up arms against his own country. It didn't in World War Two when there were American citizens who joined the Nazi army and it doesn't today," Preston said.
The Senate voted last Thursday to pass S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which would authorize the president to send the military literally anywhere in the world to imprison civilians without charge or trial. Prison based on suspicion alone. The power is so sweeping that the president would be able to direct the military to use its powers within the United States itself, and even lock up American citizens without charge or trial.
Section 1031 — one of the indefinite detention provisions — of the Senate-approved version of the NDAA has no limitations whatsoever based on geography, duration or citizenship. And the entire Senate bill was drafted in secret, with no hearing, and with committee votes behind closed doors.
Back in May, the House of Representatives passed its own version of the NDAA, which had a provision authorizing worldwide war wherever any terrorism suspect resides, even if there is no threat to America or Americans. Buried in the bill is a sentence that lets the president order the military to lock up without charge or trial American citizens and anyone else he decides is a suspect, even if the person is right here in America or in such friendly countries as Canada, Great Britain, or France.
Now, the two bills are in conference committee. The chairmen and ranking members of the Armed Services Committee — known as "the Big Four" — have been having one secret meeting after another over the past few days to quickly write a final bill. Who are the Big Four? From the Senate, it is Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) who were the very two who had secretly written the Senate indefinite detention provisions. The third member is the House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.), who is the person who wrote the House indefinite detention provisions without so much as a hearing. And the fourth member is the House Armed Services Committee Ranking Member Adam Smith (D-Wash.), who courageously fought the indefinite detention provisions on the House floor.
Amazingly, as soon as a week from today, a final bill could be passed by Congress and headed to President Obama's desk. His White House has repeatedly threatened to veto the NDAA if these dangerous provisions stay in the bill.
I think this is more towards people who would want to commit an act of terrorism against the US, in which this doesn't discriminate against who it is, even if it's a legal US citizen. Which I agree with.

Dear America,
If you vote this dictator in again (assuming you still have the right to vote when the time comes) , you'll get what you deserve. For those that still stand behind Obama, YOU are the enemy of the people, your neighbors, friends and family.
You are either with the people or against them...sound familiar?
Make the right choice now because the lines are being drawn and after it's done, it will be too late.
Peace

So the President has said that he will veto the bill unless many of the dangerous provisions are taken out. I personally believe that this is exactly what will happen.

Come on this is just lazy.
1. Chase back your sources
2. Find the official statement, not a second (or third) hand report.
3. Use the ex tags
4. Only post a snippet
5. Give us your thoughts on the story.
And yes, as said this is a Sorcha Faal article, a known fraudster, but even it wasn't such articles should be taken with a grain of salt until an official document is presented.

I appreciate you wanting me to "go all out". But I was just bring information to ATS, that's all. My opinion on the matter is not going to sway this decision regardless.
And really, I am not trying to win a popularity contest here. I am just bringing important news, whether it be false or true, to the ATS board.

I will happily "declare" that ALL threads using Sorcha Faal as a source, directly or indirectly, will be put in the dread ATS [HOAX] Forum as soon as they are discovered by staff or reported by the Membership.
We do NOT want to support such garbage with any publicity on the Big ATS at all.
